This is the FIRST recipe that all three boys ate without complaint. I did change it some from as written, but nothing significant. Instead of tomatoes I used a yellow pepper. Instead of spaghetti I used “o” pasta. I didn’t have enough cheddar cheese so I used a variety of whatever was on hand – Parmesan, Mexican, and cheddar.

This is a yummy and fast mac & cheese with chicken recipe that happens to be baked in a mini cupcake pan. How fun is that? Everyone like them though I think Jacob only tried them because he helped make them. 🙂 I need to include him more in cooking to increase the likelihood he will eat the things on his plate!

Everyone liked this, even Jason. Jacob ate a few, but Zach and Ian would have plowed through the entire batch in one sitting if I had let them. 🙂 Made with peanut butter, this would be an irresitable snack for me!

I was completely surprised my boys ate this. I tasted it fresh out of the oven and thought there was no way they would go for it. You can totally taste the whole wheat flour. But they really liked it! Even Jacob ate a few pieces. I will definitely decrease the cinnamon next time and probably add a little more fruit and sweetener. I used honey instead of agave because I didn’t have any of that. I bought some today and have no experience with it, so we’ll see if it is something that is well received. Either way, I think a little more fruit and slightly sweeter would improve the taste.

Roll chicken strips in yogurt or eggs then coat with crushed cereal of your choice. Bake on lightly greased baking sheet at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until done. Serve with a dippin sauce and the family veggies.

Here’s an idea, push a popsicle stick through the chicken prior to baking and have chicken really on a stick; little kids love this!

Jacob LOVED this. The twins didn’t. But they did love the honey mustard dipping sauce on the side, which they ate as the main course.

This is a super simple fish stick recipe that is also quick to make. The only thing I do differently is chop the fish the size of chicken nuggets. I used tilapia and the kids liked it. The twins chowed down and, as usual, Jacob seemed to like it but didn’t eat more than the three pieces I put on his plate.
